Angry Ghosts by F. Allen Farnham

Humanity was wiped out in less than two months.

The assault was methodical and efficient. Bombardment vaporized building and bone. Invasion cleared out the larger pockets of survivors. Plague finished the last few clinging to life. Extermination complete, the azure skinned beings journeyed home and resumed their normal lives.

Seven hundred years later, one of their cargo ships went missing. A burst of static preceded the disappearance, but investigations found no trace of ship or crew. Decades passed without event until another vessel vanished, again with the burst of static. Another decade. Another disappearance. Never a trace.

A rumor began in dark alleys and religious communities, then spread like fire. Most laughed when they heard it, dismissing the speaker as superstitious or overly pious; but secretly, all trembled inside. Deep in its heart of hearts, this ancient race knew the genocide of humanity was a great crime. And where all of their technology and power have failed to provide answers, the rumor may be true:

“Ravenous, Angry Ghosts have come for revenge.”

Epiphanyby Sonya Deanna Terry

Rosetta Melki, an idealist whose hope of starting a worldwide charity has been crushed by her sole-parent struggles, is enchanted by Our True Ancient History. Lillibridge’s tale about a gold-obsessed kingdom (and the sprites they enslave: elfin clan dwellers whose currency of choice is kindness) has ignited a memory Rosetta cannot explain.

Rosettta’s website surrounding the reading group she’s begun with friends has inspired the emergence of other Lillibridge book clubs. Her own Sydney group meets fortnightly at a vintage bungalow, the rental home she secured to escape a gruesome intruder.

In a more affluent part of Sydney, finance executive Matthew Weissler (polished, successful, admired) has been questioning his slave-to-the-dollar existence and his marriage to a tantrum-throwing shopaholic. And now he’s questioning his sanity after finding he’s been followed by an elf.

Rosetta’s intruder still lurks in the shadows, but who could the stranger be? A prowler from the suburb Rosetta and her teenaged daughter fled…or a traveller from the past, determined to suppress an ancient memory that will change the world forever?

The Hour Before Dark by Douglas Clegg

A children’s game played in the dark brings on a terrifying rampage in this gothic horror page-turner by the NY Times bestselling author of Neverland and The Children’s Hour. After the brutal murder of a loved one, Nemo Raglan must return to the New England island he thought he’d escaped for good . . . and the shadowy home called Hawthorn.

“Douglas Clegg has become the new star in horror fiction, and The Hour Before Dark is his best and most exciting novel to date. This is pure imagination, and it is wearing speed skates.” — Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story and, with Stephen King, The Talisman.

“A classic of modern supernatural horror.”

*”…An eerie psychological tale of supernatural horror that builds suspense gradually as the characters slowly peel back the layers of their past and face the terrors of their shared childhood. Clegg approaches horror with a stark and vital simplicity that is utterly convincing. Fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz will appreciate this atmospheric gem.” — Library Journal.

“I was compelled to keep turning the pages as fear…raised my pulse to racing level from cover to cover.” — DarkEcho.

Accidentally All Of Me by Ali Parker

I’m raising someone else’s kid.

My sister’s daughter, and where I thought I’d never make it as a single father bachelor, I was wrong.

This little girl has my heart. And only her.

Until a stray dog happens upon my place and we’re forced to call a vet.

And a beautiful woman showed up.

I didn’t believe in fate.

But it seems to believe in me.

The beautiful woman who helped us out with the dog shows up again later on a blind date across the table from me.

And I’m sold out for her before I realize what’s happening.

Pulling back is my only hope for survival.

After losing my sister, I’m far more protective of me and her little one.

But it’s a losing battle. No way I’m going anywhere, until I’m forced to.

It would seem I have a kid of my own in the world.

Maybe this is the breaking point where I can walk away from the all-consuming passion of my new romance.

Because I’m good with giving my time, my body, and all of my money.

But to her?

I’ve accidentally given all of me.
